Digitalgoobie no more...?

I've been arguing with myself for days now about this, and can't decide. I have a website, for those of you who don't know: www.digitalgoobie.com. It's time to renew my payments for the webspace and the domain and such. I'm paid up to Novemeber, so I'll still have it until the Fall - but apparently I have to send payment this coming month. I don't know if I should bother.. part of me thinks - Of course keep it, it's your website and you love it. The other part of me says I haven't put any quality time into it for months, it's a waste of money. If I don't pay for it, I could loose the domain, cause someone else could purchase it... I dunno... bleh.

11:55am Update:
Lately, at night, I've been finding myself getting VERY hungry around 8pm-9pm and I'm not sure why. I haven't changed the way I've been eating, so I should be fine, but I'm just so hungry. Like last night, when I started munching on Crunchers because I just HAD to have something because I was so hungry.. and I knew it had to be something that I could have a fair amount of, not like.. one small piece of chocolate. (almost went over my daily pnts if you read yesterday) Anyway, I've been able to eat something and kill the craving at night, but then come morning when I wake up.. I'm starving again. I know if I eat before I get to work that it throws my whole day off - so I refuse and wait until I get to work around 9am to have something to eat. Lately, peanutbutter is on my list - I'm craving it and it seems filling enough to last me until Lunch. It's the only thing I've added into my meals that's unusual for me... do you think somehow, the peanutbutter is throwing off my entire day of eating!?!! Is that possible? Heh. Anyway, I'm going to go enjoy my Mr.Noodles now.. hope you are all enjoying the rainy, smoggy, sticky day - Bleh. Activity pnts are gunna be low today.

6:15pm Update:
You know, sisters can be a serious pain in the ass. We just don't see eye to eye on most things, nearly everything. She's younger, just FYI. On Monday she played the Sims (it's a video game, this one happens to be on the PS2) for around 6hours, straight. No big deal, whatever. Then yesterday, I had to help my father with some work he had to do for about three hours, during that I did dishes, got recycling ready and did my laundry. And, for 3 1/2 hours, she played Sims. Again, no big deal. Until 9:30pm when I wandered downstairs, to finally sit down from my day, and watched her play the game for about.. five minutes. (If you've ever watched the Sims.. you know it's not very exciting to just sit and watch.. even playing can get dull if you aren't addicted first.) So finally I say 'Can we watch something else, I really don't feel like sitting here watching you play Sims.' Apparently this has started a huge fight between us. She doesn't believe I have the right to tell her to shut the game off - she should be able to do whatever she wants. Keep in mind, last night I got so sick of sitting there WAITING for her to turn it off that I left (aka the walk I took). So today I come home, and before she can disappear into the basement, hog the TV for the next 5 hours I say: 'Tonight at 8pm Canada's next top model is on.. I'd like to watch it.. just so you know before you start playing Sims.' She goes off the deep end about how much of a bitch I am, how horrible I am. That it's bullshit that I can kick her off and do whatever I want and that I'm the most bitchy person she has ever met. She wishes I was dead, and that she didn't live here.. etc.. etc...

.... ......
1) I bought and own the playstation.
2) I bought, own, pay for services for the computer, internet, etc.
3) I didn't ask her to leave the room, I simply asked if we could watch something that we BOTH could watch, instead of me sitting, watching the Sims.
4) FUCK OFF YOU LITTLE SKANK! You don't know what unfair is.. unfair is you walking around like everyone owes you something.. and that you're so freakin hard done by when you get everything handed to you and do nearly NOTHING to deserve it. Bitch.

~Deep breath~ There, maybe now I can keep myself from eating my rage away... sorry for the rant.

Out!

Tired...

Not sure what's going on this morning, I feel drained, sleepy - bleh, it's Tuesday. Another big day ahead of me.. piles of work to do at my job, might have to call Twit, again, because she didn't email me back like she said she would yesterday.. bleh. Anyway, you all have a good day, hope you enjoy sticky hot weather - cause it looks like that's what we're in for - YUCK.

12:33pm Update:
Ok, there's a new little cafe thing downstairs in our building, called the Imperial Cafe I think. I'm going to refer to it as the ImpCafe from now on I think. Anyway, their food looks SO damn good - they make the entire building smell amazing from beginning of the day to the end. Today I am enjoying a broth brocolli soup (for no pnts). It's so warm and yummy. They also have a egg salad sandwich that is SO good. (I had a small piece of someones yesterday - taste test) and today.. they were also surving: Mushroom quiche, roast beef with mashed potatoes and salad, and a pasta penne with red sauce. It all smells and looks amazing. They baked two pies, a strawberry ruhbarb (my fav!) and apple. To top it off they baked fresh flake cheese rolls that looked insane... I had to do some serious talking to myself to keep from buying it all. Anyway, it's yummy smelling, tasting and I must try it all! Usually I have a large meal at night, when I get home from work that way I'm less likely to snack. I'm thinking of changing that and having a huge meal for lunch - and just something small when I get home... mmm... food.... yum.

10:10pm Update:
So, I was sitting in the basement, arguing with my sister about crap.. and munching on Crunchers.. I had only planned on eating 2pnts worth - because that's how many activity pnts I had left.. but then I got carried away and ate 3pnts worth. Dang it. So, instead of sitting in my room being irritated I decided that it was night and that the heat had gone away enough to go for a walk.. another pnt earned.. and no Flex pnts used! Yay. Anyway, I'm going to go finish my laundry now.. and call it a night. Have a good sleep everyone...

Is life too short....?

Life is funny, you know? Or emotions are, feelings, every day life... there are things that are expected of you, things you feel you should do, and then there are things you wish you could change / do and just can't... we all watch those movies, and shows where someone takes a leap for something they believe in or want... risking it all... thing is, for them on the show.. it always works out in the end. Does it always work out in real life? Maybe... maybe it does.

12:40pm Update:
On Saturday, a woman at work passed away from cancer. I didn't know her all that well, and for me, it was kinda sudden. Not really though, since she has been very sick for some time now.. but the actual passing seemed very sudden - to me. It made me think, that any day any of us could be gone. Did you ever stop to think, if you passed away, would there be something you had wished you would have done or said? And if so... what are you waiting for?

Short and sweet.

Short post here, things will be getting back to... "normal"? I suppose. Anyway, just finished reading Dan's little post there, and yes, the meeting was not nearly as stressful as I made it out to be - what can I say, I worry. He pretty much described our 'slacking' week together. Didn't accomplish all that much, hung out, talked, played some PS2, watched some TV and movies, had some sex, etc etc.. heh. It went well. Missed you too last night, had a hard time falling asleep without you there, or the freezing cold room, the hum of the air conditioning and instead of waking up cold I woke up sweating. Oh, plus the phone call, sorry Hun, don't recall everything you said last night.. the whole being asleep thing puts a damper on those things.

Anyway, I've things to do, so I'm going to just going to update my 1001 list and head out.
#13 on the list is completed - obviously.
#14 is also completed..... heh. (No details, sorry ladies)
Ok.. just noticed #34.. that was completed awhile ago! Twice now actually.
#48 the hardwood floors for my condo, so got them! Wicked, and it's completed.
#60 Changing my hair colour is completed also I'd say, this is as dark brown as I've ever been, plus it's an actual hair style.

Alright, so that's it for now. Have a good Sunday everyone.

Dunno about Flex, lets just say I used em up during the week? ~Shrugs~

Thursday already?!!!

I can't believe it's Thursday already, that's just cheap! I don't wanna go back to work, and now there is only a few days before I'm going to have to be once again sitting at my little desk for 8 hours a day - bleh. Dan and I have been playing video games here at the house (since we couldn't get the Playstation to hook up at the freakin hotel) and we managed to beat Time Splitter, or something like that. Honestly, even though we played the entire game I have no idea what it's called - point is, that we beat the game. ~Nods~

Not much is new since we last spoke, Dan and I are having a good time together, hanging out, doing whatever. I forced the boy to wake up at 8am this morning after I finished my shower and got ready to go out. We haven't had the maid chicka in to clean the room since we first arrived - since we've always been in the room when she comes around to clean the floor. So, today we made sure to get out of there to give her the time to clean - hopefully we have some fresh towels now, maybe we'll go in the huge tub again - although, it was fuckin hot as Hell last time we did.. freakin thing has a heater under it to keep the water hot - and I may have added more hot water before we had a chance to find that out - oops. Heh.

Not sure what we're up to for the rest of the day, maybe watchin movies, whatever. We'll see. Anyway, I'm gunna go, gettin hungry and feel like some lunch now.

Tim's Run..

Morning everyone.
Now, before you all freak out and think it went badly because I'm blogging already, calm down cause everything is just fine. Dan is back at the hotel, sleeping, since I'm a freak and can't sleep past freakin 6am in the morning. So, instead of sitting in the dark hotel watching the boy sleep, I decided to run to Tim's and grab my mother a coffee and bring it back here for her to enjoy. I also picked up a tea for both Dan and I - which I will bring to him in an hour. Also got him a couple donuts, so he'd have something to munch on this morning. No idea what our plans are today.. maybe just running around and picking up a few things so we aren't without everything in the hotel. You should see the size of our tub there, it's HUGE, like... mini hot tub huge. Can't wait to try it out.. ~winks~ Anyway everyone, thank you all so freakin much for your support - and actually, I wasn't all that nervous when we met. Well... here.. I'll just explain.

I'm sitting at home, waiting for the call, and finally it comes around 6pm.
It's Dan, he's at the hotel and he's asking if I want him to pay Cash for it, or if it should go on my credit card and he'd pay me back. I say, leave it on my card, and you can pay me back. Well, the chick wont let him check in without the credit card (bitch) so I say I'll be there in ten minutes, for him to wait there - I'll be quick.
So, by this point, I'm freaking out. Not only am I going to meet him for the first time, but I have to do so infront of that bitchy chick at the front desk - wonderful. So I drive as quickly as possible, safely of course, to get there - shaking the entire way.
Park the car, get out, take a deep breath and fiddle with my clothing and walk into the hotel. Start twisting around to see if I see him - no one, unless of course he's chinese, which I knew he wasn't. So now I'm confused.. did they let him check in? So I wander up to the front desk, smile at the girl and tell her who I am. She goes, alrighty, I'll get you checked in. I'm like 'Uh, Dan was here was he not?' She goes.. 'Yep, he just stepped out for a minute.'
I'm like.. ok then.. she gets me to fill out some info, and it takes some effort, cause my hand is shaking, and I'm about to freak out. I get the room keys and wait. Wait and wait.. wandering from window to window trying to see him or his truck - nothing. Did the boy go in search of food? Was ten minutes too long to wait? Did he hide out there to see me first so he could judge and isn't going to come in? Finally I get tired of waiting, and feel like a dork standing in the lobby - so I decide to go to the room. Go up to the room, go inside, wait some more. Look out the window, and freak out begins. Call my mother, ask if he called back to the house - no apparently. Well, what the fuck?! At this point, I've hung up with my mother and not only being nervous now, but wondering if he freaked out and went home?! Great. I call down to the front desk, again tell her who I am, and ask if Dan is down there waiting for me?! She chuckles, says no and that if/when he comes back she'll let him know I checked in and am up in the room. So I sit there on the bed, watching the minutes tick by and with each passing one freak out a bit more until I call my mother - again. No call still, well Damn. How long do I wait until I give up on him showing? (I'm not very patient, I'll admit, but we're talking 20 minutes by this time!) So, I'm just about to hang up with my mother when there's a knock at the door - OMG! I say a hurried goodbye and jump from the bed - heart racing, shaking again.. and open the door. ....

And after that, everything went fine. We said a hello, that wasn't so nervous on my part (prolly cause I was busy playing the mock-pissed roll, which I always find comforting ~winks~) and he kissed me to break the ice right away, which definately helped. Then we hung out, etc etc. And now I'm here.. Sorry, I'm skipping details, I know. ~Winks~ Anyway, I'm going to get going here soon.. so, all you lovely people have an excellent day, and I'll Blog later in the week if I have time. Pnts are doing fine so far, btw. Everything is great. Hehe.

Dan-Day.

It's here, sometime today, Dan will be arriving in Canada and will be meeting me at the hotel. Hopefully, I wont be on here for at least a few days, if I end up posting tonight, it will prolly be because he's gone back home and it didn't work out (boo). I guess, at this point, there isn't much I can do - either it works out, or it doesn't kinda thing. Fingers crossed that it does. I'm excited, nervous, hopeful, I'm going to giggle like a freak and prolly blush until so much blood rushes into my head that I have an instant headache.. but whatever, right?

I'm partially packed, I have all day to get ready.. so I'm dragging right now. Don't want to suddenly be ready by 10am and then have the entire day to sit and think about what's going to happen. Apparently I couldn't sleep last night, I was tossing and turning almost the entire time. My bed is against the wall, and I usually sleep towards that side. So I was tossing and turning half asleep.. and moved to be more on my side and closer to the wall .... welll, apparently I was already as close to the wall as I could be.. because next thing you freakin know is I whack my face/nose off the wall. Seriously, it hurt like a bitch. I thought 'Oh great, I've prolly broke it or something and now I'm going to have bruising all along my face... wonderful.' Heh, I'm a dork. Seriously. Good news is my face seems fine, my nose doesn't really hurt.. and the wait is almost over. Alright, I'm going to go try to waste my day away, because it's a holiday Monday, and there really isn't anything else to do.

Out!

Dan's ETA: Monday 3pm.
Current Time: Sunday 8am.
Countdown Time: 31 Hours.

Excuse me while I go into full on panic mode!! God. I'm freaking out this morning, it was everything I could do to keep myself from thinking about it this morning as I woke up in bed. I finally decided to just get up and start my day b/c laying there thinking about it was torture to my mind. I can't believe it's almost here... my heart is racing just thinking about it - I think I might actually have a heartattack when I actually meet the Boy. Heh. Anyway, everything else is alright I guess... hope you are having a great day everyone, talky later.

6:45pm Update:
Panic, panic panic. Heh. I'm being a freak, I'm cleaning little things that I normally wouldn't - like my freakin room. Who knows why, to give myself something to focus on maybe? Went shopping again today, bought myself some new shirts which was needed. I wish tomorrow would just hurry up and happen, because I KNOW that after the first five minutes everything will either be good or bad - but I can deal with that. I'm working myself up for no reason.. it's silly, irrational, I know it is. I'm excited, honest I am, but between my panic moments, the cramps from my 12309838 day period and all the other stress lately, the excited seems to be getting lost at the moment. Once he's here, I'll be drowning in it though. ~huge smile~ Anyway, I gotta go eat dinner, another freakin wrap - God help me! I can't come up with anything else, my mind refuses to come up with a different meal idea... I need your peeps opinions - Go to meet him at the hotel AFTER he's there - or get there first with the pizza and greet him??

That's about how long it's going to be before Dan and I meet - Eep!!! My nerves are freakin shot at the moment, but I'm doing alright. I'm on vacation!!!!! NO WORK!! w00t w00t! Can't tell you how flippin happy I am that I don't have to go to work for the next 9 days! ~Does a lil happy dance~ Anyway, I have a hair appointment shortly, not sure what I'm getting done - it'll be a surprise maybe. Heh. So I'm gunna jet, have a great Saturday everyone.

3:22pm Update:
Here's my new hair, I love it. Heh.
Oh, and check out my Condo Updates for a piccy of the hardwood, tile and carpet.

5:30pm Update:
Explain to me how I'm bored right now? On the first day of my vacation?? I think it might have something to do with having to WAIT now for the next two days for Dan to get here.. if I'm at work, at least I'm distracted - but literally, I'm just waiting for it now. Heh. Nothing is new since I last updated, but I felt the need to do another update. I went for a walk, to earn myself a pnt after eating those chips. I'm dying for a Tims coffee - or to just get out of the house, which is very unlike me. I tend to dwelling indoors most of the time, like a troll Heh. Pretty picture I'm painting there, aint it? Anyway, maybe I'll go play the Sims or something, or run around in a circle like a crazy person, whichever. ~Shrugs~

Dan Vinci Code..

Hehehe. Morning everyone. Sorry, I was having a good chuckle over that last night while I was talking to Dan.. or rather, freaking out that our meeting was so close (3days!). He's been really good about my crazy thoughts, staying calm, as he almost always does. He even called back a second time to make sure I had calmed down, and was alright. He's sweet, cute, thoughtful.. heh. So can someone remind me why I'm so nervous about this meeting? Stupid nerves. Anyway, I woke up feeling better today - Yay! Hopefully that lasts all day because that sick feeling was not fun. No word from the Mortgage guy... don't know what to do there, oh well. I guess I'll just pay the first payment and see what happens after that... Anyway, I need to get ready for work, I'm working the early shift today since it's a holiday.

Still not feeling well . . .

What is my problem?! I wake up for the second day in a row feeling like shit - I can't take another entire day of feeling crappy and resist the urge to come home and just sleep it away. Seriously. At least I got a bit more sleep last night, that's something. I don't get it, honestly. It's the time of the month and all, but everything seems outta whack. I ALWAYS have horrible lower back pain - but not this time. Instead, I feel like someone punched me in the chest, and have horrible abdominal craps. The entire first half of yesterday was spent ready to be sick (at least I don't feel that at the moment) I don't understand.. maybe it's just the stress added ontop of it all, don't get it. Whatever, as long as it's gone in the next four days I guess I can handle it - cause when Dan is here, I want nothing to do with the entire process, heh.

So, we did two hours of overtime at work yesterday (torture when you're not feeling well) and I still can't seem to reach this new quota they've set for us. 12 applications completed a day just isn't possible, or at least it isn't for me. I completed 10 policies, and sent 4 back the the brks. Now, granted, if those four would have been correct in the first place, I prolly could have gotten most of them done. So I would have had 12 - 14 completed at the end of the day - but that's with an extra two hours of work. So.... ... ... I dunno. Maybe I'm just not fast enough, or maybe I'm too anal and feel the need to over document everything. Fact of the matter is, a week ago, quota was 6 applications per day - somehow, without anything changing, quota is now friggin doubled... don't understand.. don't get it. But that seems to be a theme these days.

Waiting to hear from my Mortgage guy, no response which is strange because he's usually really quick at getting back to me. Which means I have to call him instead of patiently waiting for an email - because I need answers before Friday for that twit Catherine. ~rolls eyes~ Anyway, I'll talk to you all later. Yesterday was bad for pnts, I don't wanna even talk about it. Heh.

10:10am Update:
Dude, I'm having a hard time deciding here. I emailed Mortgage guy on Tuesday when I got home re: the upgrades and rolling part of the cost into my Mortgage instead of having to pay for it completely. So, he's usually way quick at getting back to me (as I've said) - He's a great guy, and has no problem answering my questions and generally being a helpful person. But I haven't heard from him. Haven't heard from him, and it's Thursday, and I need to tell Catherine what's happening by Friday - that's a problem. If I leave it too long, she'll just go ahead and take the money and maybe ruin the chance of me being able to roll any of the upgrade cost into my Mortgage - but I don't want to call Rob and demand he get back to me - he's a busy guy, and I need to be patient.. but I have a cut off! Grrr. Bothers me, I hate when I feel like I have several days to get something done and then suddenly the days are up, and the task still isn't complete. I mean.. how long does it take to say 'No, not possible' or 'Yes, possible'? ~Pouts~ Apparently things just don't run smoothly.

8:30pm Update:
I decided to call the Mortgage guy, to see what was up, got his answering machine at both numbers I tried and left a message for him to get back to me ASAP. That was early this afternoon, around lunch... and there's no email or phone call back... soo... I'm cutting it all very close now, something I hate when it comes to this type of thing. Oh well, I got to go out with Lori tonight, had a nice little chat, some tea, and now I'm back home. Anyway, I'm in the middle of RPin with Suz, so I'm gunna go. Be good all.

Five more days, and I'll meet Dan.
Things are alright this morning, I don't feel well.. and if that's because of nerves, the chicken sandwich I had at Montana's or because I'm just not feeling well.. I don't know. But I do know, I don't feel well. I also know, that I'm at work early this morning, we are supposed to be working overtime to try and get caught up on some work.. but, the system is down. So, we're doing nothing, well - not true, I'm blogging. Anyway, I should go back to sitting at my dead screen, have a good day all. Here's hoping it's just nerves and it goes away soon.

11:58am Update:
Just finished my lunch, though I feel like I could eat more.. I'm going to really try not to. I have to stay later tonight at work, and know I'm going to have to have something to eat around my last break so I need to save up some pnts. I'm feeling better finally, mostly anyway, I want to go home though.. just not in the mood to work. I think I'm excited about being off work all next week, and meeting Dan.. just distracted I guess. I'm low on ideas for meals and such.. I'm getting sick of having Crustini's and Egg Salad for lunch at work.. need some new ideas.. you guys have any? It has to be pretty quick, I hate spending more than 5 - 10 mintues getting stuff ready. I guess I could try making something the night before.. just never know what to do.. heh.

Ok, first, Grey's last night.
I'm sorry for my very short post, I was so freakin upset that I just didn't want to talk about it anymore then that! Heh. It made me freakin cry when they killed off Denny, I loved Denny. Thank GOD for George, because he's my next fav, he rocks, and his GF in the show ROCKS. Love her, love them, love him.

Now.. as for Grey, McDreamy (or, as I think he should be called: Mc-I-get-to-have-my0cake-and-eat-it-to.) Hate him. I just do, I think he's slime.. I think he's slime pretending to be a good guy. Oh, boo-fucking-hoo, you get to sleep with BOTH Grey and Redhead wife. You have both women falling all over you, you have them drooling and begging for you to take them back like they are what.. trash.. and can't get anyone else?! Hheeelllllooo?!?!? What are these women thinking, how many times does McJerk have to step on them before they go 'Hm, McVet and McSteamy (yum yum) seem like WAY better choices to me.' But no, instead McJerk gets everything he wants, and doesn't have to work or make a damn decision for himself at all. Hate him, he should have died, not Denny. ~Frowns~ Apparently, true love on the show is punished by death, and stupid lust and sleeping around is rewarded with more lust and more sleeping around. Sorry for the rant there, makes me mad. Stupid show. ~grummbles more~

ANYWAY, onto something that is no longer an issue of stress - the Upgrades! Yes, yes, you heard me right - I have finally decided on my upgrades and am THRILLED about my choices. I got my dark hardwood flooring in the livingroom and hallway (yes!) and the upgrade putty coloured carpet in my bedroom. Both the bathroom and kitchen have the upgrade tile I wanted. All my appliances are stainless steel - like I wanted - which will go wonderfully with the glossy white cabinets that I've picked for my kitchen and bathroom. I'm excited, so very excited. Then we stopped at this little store on the way, and saw this PERFECT picture - correction, I saw it last week when we walked by, and loved it then. This time though, my mother stopped in and asked how much it was and bought it for me. Seriously. I love it. It's perfect, I can't wait to put it up in my condo. She is the fucking best, she drove all the way there with me, sat in all that traffic on the hwy's and is just fantastic. We had a great lunch, and so much fun talking (as always) I love her, I couldn't have asked for a better person in my life than my mother... and, speaking of her, I'm going to go spend the night with her.. cause.. I just want to relax and think of nothing.

You are all fantastic people too, I'm in such a good mood!
Pnts are used up.. I'm not even going to bother counting them, don't feel like it, don't much care at the moment - I'm just glad it's all working out and I'm actually excited about it now. Have a fantastic night everyone. XXXXXX

Upgrade Trip.

I'm headed out to Cambridge, again, today to meet with Catherine - who, for the past 6 days, has not contacted me once even though I've sent two email, and called her at work and left a message... this should be fun.

Out!

How could they....

Why does it have to be like that... hm?
Apparently there is no fucking happy ending.
Apparently, being a great, decent guy just gets you dead.

Jerk writers.. jerk show... stupidly wonderful men....

1 Week to go.

Dan will be here in one week. One week from today we could either find out that we totally hit it off, or that we really don't to well together. I'm leaning towards hitting it off of course... but you just never know. Yeah, I'm still nervous. It comes and goes, depending on how much I actually think about it. I'm not sure what to say, do, where to meet.. because again, when I think about it too much or too long, it starts to make me nervous. Heh. Anyway, I'm excited.

It's Monday morning, and there still isn't an email from Catherine re: Condo Upgrades. I've had enough, really. She has had nearly 6 days to get me my answers - and hasn't. She's full of shit, isn't organized, and sucks at her job. I'm going to call her today, which isn't going to be pleasant - but apparently, it needs to be done.. again. You know, I really don't enjoy confrontations.. so she's adding extra stress onto an already stressful situation, I just don't need the bullshit. Whatever.

Anyway, I have to go have a shower before work.. so.. have a good Monday everyone. Wish me luck with the condo crap, bleh.

Out!

Not gunna bother...

With writing out my food list for yesterday and today.
I'm on pnts, so far today, and yesterday was fine also.
I freakin earned myself 4 activity pnts too cause of all the walking I did. It was perfect weather to walk outside, not too hot, perfectly cool, and not raining. So I decided to take advantage - there was nothing else much to do anyway. Heh.

Although I haven't earned more than one activity pnt for today, as long as i don't go crazy after dinner here I should be right on pnts for the night. So, hope you all had an alright day, I'll talk to you all later.

Out!
Becca.

Headed out.

Alright, so I'm off for the weekend to visit my Oma and Opa.
Hope you all have a great one - only 9 more days until Dan is here.
I'm sleepy this morning, so I don't really feel like writing too much. Catherine hasn't returned my email from Wednesday still, even though I emailed her AGAIN yesterday and asked her to get back to me before Sunday night, otherwise I wouldn't be signing anything on our Tuesday appointment for the Condo Upgrades. She bothers me. Crystal, here's the link where I explained about Crustini's - I buy them, and they are just way easy to grab for lunch to keep myself from going out and having like.. McDonalds every day or something. Heh. Anyway, I have to go shower and pack for the weekend, talk to you all soon.

Out!

OMG! She made Jim cry!!!

I can't believe she didn't jump all over that!
He said he loved her.. he said that! She loves him! Dude!!
She made him cry! He cried!!!!!!!!

OMGOMGOMG!
I totally posted this before the freakin kiss!
He kissed her! I melted.. I love Jim.. oh oh oh! They kissed.. I'm so happy.. I hope she dumps Roy, cause he's just a jerk and doesn't believe in her, doesn't love her! Doesn't get her! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Gettin myself a Load of Dan...

So.. heh. Sorry, the title makes me chuckle. Dan said it to me, that I was gunna get a big load of Dan.. has to do with him being a trucker and such.. it wasn't meant to be all that dirty.. I don't think, or maybe it was, can never tell with the boy. Either way, it was so dorky when he said it that I just had to laugh and realized yet again how freakin great the boy is.

Anyway, yeah, only 11 more days till he's here. Am I nervous? Hell yes I am! I have no idea what to expect, be excited, nervous.. terrified.. worried.. I'm curious, scared.. etc... etc. I mean, no matter how things happen, something is going to change, you know? If I realize I'm totally in love with the boy, then we're going to be offically in a long distance relationship.. (assuming he feels the same way) and like.. then something should happen, right? Plans, visits, something? Then if it goes badly, do we remain friends.. do we speak ever again? It's all very up in the freakin air.. and that part freaks me out. If I never talked to Dan again, well.. I don't want to think about that right now. If I'm in love with him - what all has to change? We can't live in different countries forever and be together - ya know? Anyway, I know this is me being all girl and silly.. and I'm torturing myself with details that can't be figured out ahead of time.. but whatever. I am excited.. I want to do this, I don't want to wait anymore. Either Dan loves me for who I am, or he doesn't. It's pretty simple, you know?

I tried to give him some directions.. and failed.. I think he said something about asking someone else what route to take.. apparently mine weren't good enough for the trucker.. pshaw. ~Sticks out her tongue~

Anyway, hope you are all havin a good night,
Becca

The Office.

Tonight is the Office season finale!
I read so on one of the characters Blogs - Here - so you can check that out - doesn't give much away. I'm so excited. Apparently the show is starting ten minutes early, so don't be late! Also, incase you missed the upgrade talk, there's a link down at the bottom of the last post - or you can just click on my icon to view the new Blog I created for the Condo alone. It's just easier to post it on its own now that I have pictures and such. Have to get going here, need to get ready for work.. it was a rough night. Not sure what my problem has been lately, but every morning I wake up feeling ill, and have ended up waking up a minimum of three times during the night - I'm so tired.. bleh. Anyway, have a great day everyone, I just heard thunder outside - love it. Still doing alright with pnts, yay, and only 11 more days until Dan is here.

12:22pm Update:
So, shock #1 for the morning - Chris got voted off American Idol last night? Seriously? I was shocked, I have to tell you. I didn't watch it, kinda could care less, but I've heard about how good he is and such.. and I kinda thought based on talk in the office that Taylor (even though I like him) was going, or what's the other dudes name. Elliott or something? Second shock, I don't know if I mentioned on here or not.. but the reason there have been changes going on in the office is because ING has bought the company. So, today, our vice pres of the company was let go. So.. two shocks way early this morning. I'd be lying if the thought of more layoffs didn't cross my mind, hopefully I'm just a worker ant and they'll leave me alone... I mean, there's other 'drift wood' to be concerned about I'd think.. maybe they'll be focusing on that? Honestly, I don't know what to expect... I'm nervous about the idea of being layed off, I mean, it's kinda the last thing I need now.. but it's not like anyone else at work wants to be let go - just what I would need, heh. Anyway, still wondering about the upgrades.. still running everything over and over in my mind. I emailed Catherine last night with 11 questions I came up with.. so she''ll hopefully get back to be today - if not, then tomorrow morning. And if not then, I hope she realizes I'm not signing ANYTHING until I've had time to plan it out. It's up to her how this shit goes. Anyway, have a good day everyone, I'm gone for the weekend - again, but I'll post tomorrow.

Ok, I can't write right now. I'm mixing up my words, it's like I'm thinking about the coming words and mixing everything up. I'm going to wait to write about the upgrades because my piccys are pretty much all at home, and I'd like the crop and resize it all before posting. I will however give you the quick notes on what happened:

Catherine is just at stupid IRL as she was over the phone. My Dad was just about ready to smack her I think... she was just.. slow. It was hard to have a conversation with her, she went on and on about her qualifications (like I care, am I interviewing you for a job?) and it was just generally hard to keep the freak on topic.

Everything is an upgrade. And they've done it all in this bullshit way of 'packages'. There are two standard packages you can choose from - you can't mix and match items between the standards, that's an 'upgrade' and you have to pay to do that. I want to upgrade my cabinet doors, and by doing so, I get to actually pick a colour of crap carpeting (you don't for the standard options) and there's a nicer tile. Now, I was thinking of upgrading the tile further in the kitchen and bath - which I can do, for another upgrade cost. Even though I had to pay to grade the package, I have to pay another fee to upgrade further, and with no refund from the other upgrade even though I'm not using that upgrade tile. (following here?) The hardwood floor I want is out, or at least, there's no way I'm going to purchase it with them. For about 500 sq. ft. of hardwood they are charging $6095. I nearly shit myself. Needless to say, I'm going out tonight to do my OWN pricing.

Anyway, to sum it up, I kinda did a quick total thing, I mean.. it could be more or less.. I just quickly added everything up last night and I'm going to spend like a minimum of $4,000 on the upgrades, plus like.. $3,000 for the storage unit. Nevermind if I decide to install my own hardwood flooring. I'm poor. That's going to suck up all my cash, and I stil have to save for the closing costs then, and have NO money for a car downpayment. Needless to say, I'm stressed. So, I'll show you peeps later what I've sorta been looking at. The final decisions don't have to be made until next week Tuesday. The condo on the other hand, is looking good. I'll post pictures of that too for you all. Have a good day. Good news? It's Wednesday, and so far, I'm on pnts. That's something at least....

8:00pm Update:
Ok, I've created a seperate section for the Condo stuff, because it takes a lot of room with the pictures, and didn't want to cram it all here. So, go to:
CONDO UPGRADES

I'll try to keep most update stuff about the condo there from now on - instead of talking so much about it here. Like when I have pictures and stuff. I'll still talk about Catherine and her piss-offs here.. cause that's me being annoyed. ~Winks~

My name is Domino Harvey...

I just wanted to do a quick post on this movie, I saw a commercial for it awhile ago and while I was watching it exclaimed that I 'so want to see that movie!' before quickly forgetting entirely about it. Well, not entirely, I believe I went to dinner with Laura and Mishy and frantically tried to tell Mishy about the movie that I wanted to see.. went something like.. 'I saw this commercial for a movie, and I can't remember the name, or what its about.. but it looked cool.. and someone pretty well known was in it..' To which Mishy responded with some witty comment like 'Gee, I'll be sure to catch that film.' Since of course, what I was rambling made no sense, and didn't help either of us to know what I was talking about. ANYWAY, as I was browsing through Blockbuster with my cousin Vinny and my sis, Tessa, I saw it sitting on the shelf and it all came rushing back. I quickly snatched it up and smiled saying 'This is the movie I wanted to see!' So, I saw it yesterday before Greys Anatomy (I dislike McDreamy very much btw - jerk.) and loved it. I'm not entirely sure if it was an excellent movie or not, or if it just struck some 'this is a wicked movie' chord in my body - so I don't want to recommend it entirely incase you peeps go see it and think 'what the Hell was she thinking?!' Honestly, I think it's one of those movies that not everyone will enjoy, you have to be 'into' that kinda thing to enjoy it. I however, am into it, and totally enjoyed the entire thing. I liked the way the movie was filmed, I love the colours and the voice overs. I like the naration by the main character, the colours and feel of the film fit perfectly. I don't know what to tell you all really, cept I really enjoyed it.. and would definately watch it again. (Kong on the other hand, I'd prolly avoid almost entirely for a second time around - far too long a movie for such a weak, corny plot.)

Quick run down of the movie, Domino is the played by Keira, she's a bit of a badass chicka who has some serious issues with losing people in her life. She's all tough, and made me chuckle several times during the film (plus, I was also thinking through the whole film that Dan would have loved this movie... but that's just me). She decides to become a bounty hunter and hooks up with cutie in a dirty sorta way Choco (Edgar Ramirez) and father figure Ed (Mickey Rourke). And that's the movie, it's kinda a flash back sorta film, it starts in the future, and she's basically telling her story of what happened. There's violence, a bit of sex, buncha action.. swearing.. so it's not a kids flick. Anyway, that's all I'm going to tell you for now. See it, don't see it, it's up to you.. but I enjoyed this film, and since it's my Blog, I'm sharin it! ~winks~ Now Mishy, you must see it.. you've no choice. Hehehe.

You can check out a site for the movie < Here >

Monday already?!

The weekend went by so quickly, I barely feel like I've been away from work for five minutes let alone an entire two days. Bleh. Mom woke me up at 6:15am this morning, because I had said I'd go for a walk with her - which I forgot about completely, and felt like shit this morning both physically and being tired after only falling asleep after 1:30am. So, I declined the walk and said I'd go on Wednesday.. I think I'm going to have to push myself, because it's very easy to just say 'no thanks' and crawl back into bed.

Pnts haven't been great for me the past few days - I mean, they aren't horrible, but I try not to use my Flex and I've dipped into that pot several times. I need to stay on track, because I can't be worrying about my pnts when I have so much other stuff on my mind - 14 days until Dan comes, my upgrade pre-appointment tomorrow. I'm just really hoping that there aren't many upgrades that I want, because I just don't have the $$ for it, you know? Cross your fingers for me that the hardwood is really the only thing I'll want changed.

This weekend is Mother's Day and I haven't a clue what to buy my mom for it. We're going 'Up Home' to see my Oma and Opa, prolly Grandma too. Another busy, completely occupied weekend for me. OMG did I already mention only 14 days until Dan is here? I'm freaking a bit right now, my heart is racing at the thought.. I hate the unknown! Heh. Eep.

Alright, I'd best be goin, gettin ready for work and such. I updated Luca's Blog for those of you interested in reading it and keeping up on posts. Hope everyone has a great day, not sure if it's supposed to be sunny or not, but I think it's supposed to warm up at least.

12:35pm Update:
Well.. today has certainly turned out like an odd little day. I'd say it sucks, but that's not really how I feel - just feels odd. Morning started like normal, the pain in having to go into work on a Monday morning is normal. But then, on the trip in as I'm driving along a dump truck passes on the other side of the road, and before I can even think about that a rock flys at my windshield and crack! A nice pretty chip in the glass... fantastic. Matches the other one that's there. Now I decide, do I try to get it filled before it has the chance to crack across my windsheild - or do I just hope to god that I sell it before it has the freakin chance?! (Which I had planned on putting off, since I don't know if I'll have the $$ for the downpayment.) Fine, I sorta laugh it off - I mean, I can't rewind time to my knowledge and take a different route to work so nothing to do except try to make a choice. Then I get to work, make it into the lunch room before I hear the news of the office - they are changing our hours AGAIN. Office is now open until 6pm starting next week. (With a change of until 7am - 7pm hours for the office looming in the distance.) Well, that's just wonderful. We're having a meeting today at 2:30pm to talk about it. Not sure what my boss has planned - maybe she has decided for us? Don't know to be honest. I still DO NOT want to rotate - it just doesn't work for living at home. I can't wake up one week at 5am and then the following wake up at 9am? That doesn't work. I volunteered to work the 5pm shift this last time around - should I have to work the later one now? Shouldn't someone else have to? I've been here for three years, doesn't that count for something? Then again, maybe working until 7pm wouldn't be SO bad. (besides the fact that I wouldn't get home until around 7:45pm) But then, maybe I could do something like... stay up until 2am every night, and sleep in until 9am? That way I'd have more time to RP with Suz.. I don't know. Makes it nearly impossible to do any evening things, like dinner with friends and such. Clearly, as you can see, I'm all over the map on this. I'm hoping that my boss doesn't make us decide right away in our meeting, allowing me some more time to think about it. Bugger eh? And tomorrow is that upgrade thing that has me all freaked out. My stress levels are beginning to go through the roof. Not to mention the fact that I'm starving today.. and can't seem to eat enough. ~Rolls her eyes~ I'll try to have good news on here eventually.. promise. Hey, at least I got a good walk and talk in at lunch with Laura - I'm going to miss her so much when I switch offices.

8:20pm Update:
I'm home, I'm trying to relax and keep everything in perspective. (sp?) The hour thing will work out in the end I'm sure.. I mean.. it has to. Heh. Mostly right now, the upgrade thing is on my mind.. wondering/worrying about it. Which is silly, I know, because until tomorrow there's nothing to worry about - can't worry about the details you don't know. I'm so glad that I have like a week to think about the upgrades, because if I honestly had to decide everything all at once, I just might freak out. So, my sister brought me home a tea from Tims, as I was standing there, stirring it I happened to glance outside and thought 'it'd be a nice night for a walk' and for once... I went! I went and didn't give myself time to talk me out of going.. I just put my shoes on, took my tea with me, and went for a good 20 minute walk. I mean, it was no biggie, but I still left the house and did something beside sitting around. I find it hard to talk myself into doing such things sometimes. At work it's different, we've gotten into the habbit of break time means.. go outside for 15 minutes and walk.. today at lunch Laura and I did that nice like.. half hour walk. So.. ~shrugs~ I just find it easier to push myself to walk at work.. then I do here. (Prolly cause it's just easier to lay around then get up and do something) I'm going to head off to bed early tonight, since I need to get up around 6am and will have to be into work early. I also am working through part of my lunch, so tomorrow will be a busy, and very long day. I might not get a chance to Blog - so if I don't, I hope that all you lovely people have a fantastic Tuesday.

The End of the Weekend..

Morning.. went a bit over on pnts last night, oh well. It could have been much MUCH worse. There were chips and cookies and more chips, booze with fruit and other such snacks all over the place.. and I barely touched anything at all for the entire like, four hours of sitting there chatting with my aunt, mom and cousin. Hopefully today I'll have a little more sucess with staying within my pnts.

Saw King Kong last night, wasn't what I expected. It was corny, and the story line was definately one that I'd pick the Hell appart - I hate when things don't 'make sense'. And I felt that that movie had plenty of those moments throughout. And no, I'm not even talking about the giant monkey, and I ignored the other creatures that were alive on the island.. because.. I just assumed it came along with the monkey somehow... but.. it was parts where like, people's reactions to situations. Or the pole jumping like a mile long jump? WTF is that? The dudes body checked a freakin raptor.. and the raptor went down... ~blinks~ ... And did they forget to put some of their budget towards better graphics for landscape? Cause they blew it all on the monkey? I mean.. Kong was alright, he definately had his moments throughout the movie - and if it weren't for him, that movie would have SUCKED ASS, but common! I was expecting to much more from this movie, and I guess it was just disappointing. It wasn't even that the acting was bad (which is unusual) it was the actual plot and lines of the actors I disagreed with. ~Shrugs~ Anyway, it was alright. If I had to do it over again, I'd just wait to see it for free on the movie network - glad I didn't pay to see it at the theatre.

Nothing new, I'm boring.

I have nothing to write, really.
I just woke up a bit ago, was reading some blogs, and thought I'd best update mine before I got too lazy to do so. I've also included a copy of a joke from a daily comic that I visit, written by Stephan Pastis who makes me laugh almost every time that crazy Rat is in the strip, or even these crocs. The comic is called Pearls before Swine - If you like sarcastic humor, you'll prolly like this. Anyway, just thought I'd give you pretty people something to check out. I'm going to go make breakfast, and get lunch ready ahead of time. My cousin (Vinny) and her mom, my aunt (Lorraine) are coming for a visit today, staying over night and leaving tomorrow. So we're making those ranch wraps I think. I'll have to try and keep my pnts low because I'm so totally going all out on it again. There was something else I wanted to tell you all.. hmm.. I can't remember to be honest. Maybe later if I have the time I'll come write it down. So anyway, be good, have an excellent weekend and relax the day away!

I <3 Dan.

Dan talked to me for like, two hours last night, calming me down, hearing me out.. and just in general - being a good boytoy and caring. Then, this morning as the birds woke me up at 6am, and I rolled over half asleep, half awake, he called - and talked to me for another hour before work to put me in a good mood for the day. He was caring, thoughful, funny, cute, and helpful. So, I just wanted to say that I love him, and he rocks. Thank you baby for calling.

So, still no word from Catherine, it's 12:40pm and I do believe it's offically no longer morning, which means she failed to get back to me 'this morning' about the appointment next week. I guess I'll call her as soon as I finish up here, it's irritating.. to have to worry about fighting with her about this, getting the run around, and then still have the actual worries of the upgrades in the back of my mind. Wish me luck.

3:40pm Update:
Just a quick one this time, I had to call Catherine, because she hadn't called - she said she'd call back in an hour, and more or less she did. So, the pre-appointment is set for next Tuesday @ 6:15pm - hopefully rush hour isn't too bad and we make it there in pretty good time. Here's hoping there aren't too many things that I want, because honestly, I can't afford too much right now. The entire car idea has been put on the back burner until I figure out this upgrade thing. Then I have to make sure I have enough for the closing costs come September, and finally at the end of that line - any other money I save can go towards a downpayment of a vehicle. My stomach is constantly flipping, nervous of what's all coming up and all the things I have to remember. It's like being in a constant state of stress - again, the pnt counting seems to be the simplest of my daily worries/tasks. Today however, I am having a hard time keeping myself from eating. I just want to snack the entire day away, but I'd like to make myself a chicken wrap tonight, and need about 9 pnts for that - I'm cutting it close. Anyway, I have to get going back to work.. need to finish up a few things, and there's only about an hour left of my day. Thank you all for your kind words and support, hopefully you all have fantastic weekends.

Out!

Food List:
Tea - 1pnt. (My mom is off work today, and surprised me with a Tims tea when I woke up this morning - she rocks.)
Egg McMuffin - 6pnts.
Crustini - 6pnts.
Chocolate - 2pnts.
Yogurt - 2pnts.

Yummy Wrap: 13 pnts, and so worth it. Though, you can lessen the pnt value - I just went all out tonight. I made it last night without cheese and only one piece of bacon. I also could have done with a little less dressing, or even a low fat ranch and that would have cut the pnts. But, like I said, I splurged.
Tortilla - 2pnts.
Cheese - 1pnts.
Ranch Dressing - 4pnts.
Chicken - 4pnt.
Bacon (2) - 2pnts.
Lettuce - 0pnts.
Shoot, went over for another Tea from Tims - 1pnt.
(Coulda been worse, there were cookies too, I put them in a container and in the freezer for later, does that could for anything? Like a bonus pnt that would go against the pnt for the tea? Heh.)

29 / 28 pnts used.
2 / 2 activity pnts.

Suckage.

So, today did not go well.
Since I can't get into all of it, for fear of some of the people reading this, and me getting in trouble because their feelings are hurt - and if you think this is about you, it probably is, and you should feel bad because you added to my stress and crap ass day - monkey penis.

Onto something I can talk about, the condo updates.
Geraldine called my house today, and spoke to my mom - who called me at work to give me the message. My mom says 'Gerri called (Catherine calls her this, so I'm gunna too), she was confirming your appointment with Catherine for the 16th of May.' I then go 'Yes, I know about that appointment - did she say anything about the appointment for next week?' My mother says 'No, but she made it sound like the model suite wouldn't be ready yet, you better call her back' 'Fine, give me her number, and I'll call.. ' So, now I'm a little irritated, I haven't heard from Catherine, although she said she'd email me on Tuesday - and didn't. Then I emailed her around noon yesterday, to ask about the appointment for next week, the model home, and also the details on the hardwood flooring I wanted that she said she'd email me. No response, nothing until Gerri called today. So, I call Gerri back:

'Hi yeah, you called to confirm my appointment for the 16th with Catherine, that's fine. What I'm wondering about is my appointment for next week with her, to view the upgrades and model suite ahead of time.'

Gerri: 'Your appointment is on the 16th, the model suite wont be ready until after your appointment.'

'The model suite still isn't going to be done by then? It was supposed to be done in April. Fine, as long as I can see the updates next week with an appointment with Catherine, that's fine.'

Gerri: 'Your appointment is on the 16th, did you want to move it to next week?'

'No, I don't want to move my appointment. I'm making another appointment, to view the upgrades before my final appointment on the 16th. I spoke to Catherine about this, she was supposed to email me on Tuesday and didn't - she's staying late to run through the upgrades with me.'

Gerri: 'Hold please.' To which she cuts me off and throws me on hold. Only to come back and say 'Your appointment is on May 16th with Catherine.' Long pause.

'Yes, I know I have an appointment on the 16th. Is Catherine there? Can I talk to her - this was already discussed, we're supposed to be meeting next week to view the upgrades, she's supposed to email me details, and I was supposed to be able to see the model suite.'

Gerri: 'Hold please.' Ditches me again. Comes back... again.. and says.. 'Your appointment is on the 16th of May. The model suite isn't open, so you can't see the upgrades.' By this time, I'm ready to start screaming.. instead, I say slower...

'I know when my appointment is, I'd like to speak to Catherine, is she there?'

Gerri: 'Hold please.' Cuts me off. Comes back and says 'Catherine is in a meeting, can I get her to call you back...'

So I gave her my # and hung up. I get a call from Catherine in like.. an hour or so and the call starts with: 'Hello, Rebecca speaking.' and then 'Hi, is Rebecca there?' a long pause 'This is Rebecca....' ~Sigh~ She then goes on to say that Gerri told her I sounded 'distraught' on the phone and she is calling to ease my worries by telling me that we're still going to have the appointment next week to preview the upgrades. I of course tell her the reason I sounded 'distraught' was because Gerri pretty much told me that wasn't an option. Then Catherine tries to HANG UP before discussing what day and time she can see me next week - I have to like, call her back to the freakin phone. I ask her if she got my email, she says something like she read it really quick and hasn't had time to respond... ... ... ok then. I ask her which day suites her. She has to call me back, because she has to move some things around.

I hate today.

Feeling a little touchy.

... here's the thing...
Since I went to bed last night the following has woken me up:
1) Call from Matt, no biggie, this is pretty normal.
2) Call from Dan, again, normal.
3) My neighbours dog, barking.
4) The hissing and screeching of fighting cats.
5) The clicking noises of racoons.
6) The chirping of some fucking bird - I swear.. if I had a pellet gun..
7) My neighbours dog barking, again.
8) The train that goes through town.
9) My sister doing that disgusting noise that guys make when their going to spit.

I'm fucking irritated. I'm about damn ready to march over to my neighbours and tell her she has several choices: Get the dog debarked, buy one of those collars that sprays the dog when it barks, stand the Hell outside while the dog is going pee to keep it from barking - OR I will call the fucking cops and complain that at crazy hours during the night and morning your fucking Mutt is outside barking and waking everyone the Hell up! ~Breathes~ It has been a crappy night.. I feel like I've gotten no sleep because every damn time I fell asleep I was woken back up. Which means of course, I was awake enough all night to Dream through all the sleeping which means I feel like I got even less sleep... I'm irritated.. sorry people, I know I sound like a bitch. But common! I go to bed early enough just to be woken up every freakin hour by something new. Now I have to go get ready for work.. have a better day everyone.

12:20pm Update:
The spraying dog collar isn't cruel or anything, it's the same thing of spraying a cat with a water bottle - teaches them that the behavior that they are doing isn't allowed. Eventually, I'm assuming, you wouldn't have to use it anymore b/c the dog would get the idea. Also, you can get a surgery done for the dog, called debarking, and it's pretty damn effective. I mean, some people think it's cruel.. but I don't see how it's any worse than spaying an animal? The surgery is only like 30 minutes, not even, and the dog recovers soon after. The biggest thing after the surgery is that you have to keep the dog from barking until it heals otherwise they will be able to start barking again and ruin the entire surgery and you'll have to do it again (and pay again). Afterwards, the dog is unable to bark, and instead makes a sort of 'coughing' noise. I mean, you can either have someone calling the cops because your dog doesn't shut up all day and loose your dog, pay fines, OR you can have the surgery. The other option, is to work with your dog, and teach him that barking isn't acceptable - but most pet owners don't work on things like that... I'm not sure why I went into all this detail, but I felt the need. ~Laughs~ I worked at a vet clinic for 3yrs, and I've seen a lot of different types of owners, and therefore a lot of behaviour problems. I'd have to say, just as many people should have to take a test before having a child - they should have to take a test to have the right to own a pet.

Anyway, today isn't a great day, I'm still having that crappy mood hanging on and I'm just not feeling like being social today. Thank god for Laura, and her ability to tolerate me, cause otherwise I'd have no one to come on walks with me at breaks and lunches and then I'd be bored. Dinner last night with Mishy and Laura went well, I stayed OP and had a good meal - lots of laughing. Tonight I'm making Chicken something.. not sure what. Maybe a chicken wrap or something. I've been thinking about Sarah's idea for the taco mixture in the slow cooker - and I'm thinking I might add that to the list to try before I give up on the thing - we'll see. I'm borrowing it from Brenda down the street, and so I don't want to hog it for too long. Maybe tomorrow I'll try something else. Alright, I'm going to go eat my Crustini now before lunch is over, hope you are all having an ok day, it's almost the weekend.. whew.
(18 Days until I meet Dan - eep!)

Wednesday Morning...

~Yawn~
I'm tired, not sure why, but I just freakin am.
The slow cooking roast was just ok, I don't think I'll bother making it again. See, I'm not a huge fan of a beef roast as it is, and I thought the slow cooker would somehow make it amazing and change my mind about the meat... but it didn't. ~Shrugs~ I'd like to try a chicken dish and a beef stew before I give up on the slow cooker.. otherwise, I'm not all that impressed by it. I mean, it's nice that everything was all in one dish, and it would be nice for someone living alone and working all day to come home to a fully cooked meal - but otherwise, eh.

So, the towel cake. I've added a piccy of the towel cake that I made for Lori - it turned out pretty good if you ask me. Sorry for the crappy photo, apparently I was having a hard time keeping things straight and I should have turned off a light that kinda gave it that odd shadow effect - but whatever. It wasn't that hard to make, so for those of you looking to do something 'fun' for a bridal shower, you could consider this. Everyone else at the shower seemed to love it and thought it was great. I got the instructions from The Wedding Company on how to make it, but then I changed it up a little bit. (They put mine up as an example on the site) I tied rope under the ribbon to hold the towels together, because I didn't want a bow on my cake. (Even the inside towels have rope around them) And I also cheated further by sewing down the ends of the towel cake - why you ask? Because I'm anal. They were sticking up and I didn't like how it looked. It was easy removal. All Lori has to do is cut the thread and pull it out since I made it one long piece. I mean, I only did like five rather large stitches at the back of the cake for each corner - no biggy. And it's not like the sewing would ruin the towels.

So anyway, I should probably get going, get ready for work. Going to dinner tonight with Mishy and Laura - though I haven't heard from either were we're going... so... maybe we aren't? Had a bit of trouble with pnts yesterday - for the entire evening I wanted to just keep eating and eating. Managed to stop myself after using 3 Flex.. whew. Ok, seriously, I'm going now.

12:25pm Update:
Just finished my Egg Salad sandwiches.. they were so yummy. Instead of having only one small sandwich (you know the WW bread is small, admit it) I've decided to have two. Not only that, but I added celery and lettuce to the sandwich in hopes of making it more filling. Now that I'm working the later shift at work, that half hour seems to make enough of a difference that when I get home, I'm freakin starving and want to eat anything that comes my way. Knowing this will lead to problems, I've come to realize I maybe need to eat more - maybe it's time to start eating those veggies that count for 0pnts. So, now that I've eaten a good meal, I still have some goldfish crackers left to eat, and that apple. So if I get hungry between now and 6pm when Mishy, Laura and I meet at Swiss Chalet, then I can eat those. Not sure what to have tonight, I'm torn between the Chicken Sandwich and soup, Chicken Pot Pie.. or something else.. not sure. I really feel like Chalet Sauce though. The problem with the ChickPotPie is that it's 12 pnts. No biggie, I can fit that it. Cept, it comes with a side dish. Fries are OUT of the question - frankly I've just been avoiding fries as much as possible unless I make homemade ones. The Colslaw there isn't too bad.. not sure how many pnts it is, and the mashed potatoes - although better than fries at their 5pnts - are not my fav thing. Plus, 12+5=17 And I don't have that many pnts to use. Unless I don't eat it all. I always want to get the multigrain bun because it's fantastic.. but then I put butter on it AND dip it in the Chalet sauce.. so we're talking like.. 5pnts for the flippin bun too. Anyway, as you can see, I can't decide. Anyway, lunch is almost over, I'm gunna get going. Have a good day everyone. (Is it Friday yet?)

Roast in a Slow Cooker.

Incase you haven't guessed, I'm making a beef roast in the slow cooker tonight for dinner, as we speak, at home on the counter, the roast, potatoes, carrots and onions are simmering away hopefully making a fantastic meal. (And yes, before you ask, it is set ON instead of on Warm.) Anyway, today is alright, it's sunny, a good temp outside and there are only 20 more days until I get to meet Dan (w00t w00t!) I'm still nervous, but I think I'm slowly calming down - though on the day I'll be a complete mess I'm sure. Last night he FINALLY sent me a piccy of himself - he's so frigging sexy cute - I think (he didn't answer my email) he's wearing the sweater I bought him for Christmas this year.. or was it his Bday.. honestly, I can't remember (I know, shocking) Anyway, it's lunch right now, and I'm headed over to Canadian Tire or GT with Laura.. so I'll try to give you an update later today. I'll also try to put up a piccy of the Towel Cake since everyone is asking about it.

Monday, a new routine.

So................ this weekend for pnts sucked. I guess I just gave up or something. Honestly I don't know why I ate like I did.. I just.. did. BUT, today is a new day, a new week, and I fully intend on staying within pnts - although there is something in the back of my mind that says 'fuck it' when I say I'm going to stay on pnts.. but too bad. Cause that's the friggin plan and I'd really like to get back on track.

The wedding shower for Lori is over, whew, I survived. Again, not sure why I dislike showers, weddings, parties, etc so much.. but I just do. I hate getting dressed up at all, the thought of small talk drives me mental.. I dunno. It wasn't so bad really, her aunts and other relatives are all very nice - it's just not my scene I guess. Anyway, I have some pictures that I'll prolly post on my website later tonight - I was going to do it last night but I was so tired after being at the party for six hours and pretty much standing the entire time that around 9:30pm I just gave up and went to bed. (Just so you know, the idea behind the shower was a tea party - we were supposed to kinda dress up. I found some pearls, a bracelet, necklace and earrings. I also had a hat, which I'm not wearing in this piccy.)

Today is day #1 of my new work schedule - I'm working from 9am to 5pm, we'll see how that works out. Hopefully I'll like it, I can't imagine it will make that much of a difference except in the mornings. Like now, I have about 15 more minutes to type my Blog before I even have to get ready. Not leaving the house until around 8:15am, the time I used to arrive at work and be sitting at my desk already. Hopefully this works out well for me, gives me a bit more time to sleep in the morning, and allows me a bit of 'alone' time at the end of the day to finish up stuff without any interuptions. ~Shrugs~ Or maybe, I'll be really lonely and wish I had people to talk to.... doubtful, since I'm such a loner, but ya never know. Hehe.

Anyway, I'm going to head off here. Maybe go make myself something to eat for breakfast. Hm, now I could have a freshly made breakfast at home here... interesting thought.
